well thx for the input everybody! 
well i've decided to go for it. been busy emptying out my 3ft x 2 x 2. and put ehieme 2260 bucket x2, a massive air pump, and a UV in out of the outlet from the 2260.
and i've stocked it up all today. as follows: -
Red devil (male) 10-11"
Jag (male) 8"
Flower Horn (male) 11"
Flower Horn (not sure) 5"
Oscar-Tiger 13"
Oscar-Albino 9"
Butti 9"
water reading are as follows:-
Ammo - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - below 20
Temp 26*C
* 20% water change per day*
All i have in the tank at the moment is just a big bog wood (as planned) and a 12" air stone.
and i added a fuval internal 4+ for added oxgyen and water movement.
so far so good, the dominate fish out of them all are the red devil, flower, butti and the jag. nothing much, just the kiss chase now and then. nothing really serious.
each of the fish comes from different petshop/seller. so they haven't meet each other before.
if thing doesn't turn out the way i want, i've got many tanks/setups.
how ever, if things are going well i will move them into a larger tank 5x3x2 and have it heavy filtration and increase the number of fish.
will take a few pic tonight when i get home for updates

hang on...did u say ur putting all of them in a 3x2x2???
look please dont do this. i mean it could be worth the risk but they r big fish already and once the smaller ones maturity comes out...its just guna be a disaster. these could all be dead by the morning.

I'm only at the end of the 1st page of the thread, but it'd be a massacre with the Oscar being torn up 1st. The 'fun' of keeping fish for me is to get different fish I like and mixing them with compatible fish to have a tank that 'works' yet is interesting to watch. Just getting 'a bunch of mean fish' and throwing them together doesn't sound rewarding. But that's just my opinion.
Edit: I should've read to the end. Not sure why you asked for opinions since you were going to do it anyway. But I wish you'd have left the Oscars out of it.
